After Zhu Houjin killed Jiang Bin and subdued the Imperial Army, the coup in the palace came to an end.
The number one general of the Zhengde era, Jiang Bin, was the commander of all the armies in the Ming Empire. He was the prime murderer of the Zhengde Emperor, Zhu Houzhao. In the end, he fell into the hands of the young Emperor, Zhu Houyu, who was only 15 years old.
Jiang Bin's head had been chopped off by Lu Bing, but he still died with grievances. Because Jiang Bin did not understand until his death how he, who was in charge of all the armed forces in the palace, was defeated by Zhu Houjin.
This palace coup was also epoch-making for Zhu Houyi.
After successfully defeating Jiang Bin, it also signified that Zhu Houzhen had officially become the Emperor of the Ming Empire.
Before this, Zhu Houyi was a new emperor who had just entered the capital as a son of a vassal king. But after today's battle, no one in the court, inside or outside the palace, dared to question Zhu Houyi's authority as emperor.
At this moment, this 15-year-old youth had truly become an emperor who held great power and ruled the world.
Not long after Zhu Houjiu killed Jiang Bin, all the civil and military officials in the court received the news and gathered in front of the royal study.
The generals of the Imperial Guards, the two officials of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the eunuch from the Bureau of Rites stood respectfully in front of the royal study.
At this moment, there were still traces of blood left in front of the royal study. When everyone saw these traces of blood, they were shocked again.
"Cough cough!"
Fang Xianfu stood up and took out the imperial edict that Zhu Houjin had prepared, announcing Jiang Bin's crimes to the public.
From Jiang Bin forming a clique for personal gain, to Jiang Bin's corruption, from Jiang Bin controlling the Imperial Army, to Jiang Bin killing Zhu Houzhao, all the crimes were listed out.
All of a sudden, all the officials became agitated and cursed Jiang Bin, who had already died.
In fact, almost all the ministers present understood Jiang Bin's crimes. However, because Jiang Bin had held power in the past, the ministers did not dare to provoke him. Now that Jiang Bin had been killed, the ministers naturally took the opportunity to step on Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin was originally the commander of all the armed forces in the palace, but now that Zhu Houjin had killed Jiang Bin, the other forces did not dare to move.
After hearing Fang Xianfu's words, Zhu Houzhen coughed lightly. When the officials heard that the Emperor had something to say, they hurriedly quieted down.
"This time, Jiang Bin rebelled. It was all thanks to Lu Bing leading his men of sacrifice to save us that we were able to protect Zhen. Lu Bing has protected the emperor. I grant Lu Bing the title of Commander of the Brocade Guards, commanding the Ming Brocade Guards!”
"As for the rest of Lu Bing's subordinates, hand the list to the Ministry of Personnel for commendation!”
"Fang Xianfu and the others have contributed greatly in exposing Jiang Bin's rebellion. I will reward them one by one!”
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!"
"In addition, Jiang Bin has committed countless unforgivable crimes. Order the Ministry of Personnel to confiscate Jiang Bin's family and exile all his family members.”
"Yes, the emperor is wise!"
When the officials heard that Zhu Houjie had a sense of propriety in his rewards and punishments, they couldn't help but admire this little Emperor even more.
If it could be said that the officials had listened to Zhu Houjiu's arrangements with an attitude of observation, then now they were absolutely obedient to Zhu Houjiu's orders.
Because this time, Zhu Houyi had already established his absolute position of imperial power in the palace through the Jiang Bin incident.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary of this coup was Yang Tinghe.
Because Jiang Bin was dead, there was no one to manage the armed forces inside and outside the palace, so Yang Tinghe took the opportunity to take all the forces into his hands.
Zhu Houjin was also well aware of this, but he could only let Yang Tinghe do as he pleased. This was because Zhu Houjiu did not have anyone under him who could take charge of the military. Moreover, Yang Tinghe had been in the palace for many years. Even if Zhu Houjiu sent someone to take over these armed forces, these armed forces would still be controlled by Yang Tinghe through political trickery.
However, Zhu Houjin was not in a hurry because he knew that even if Yang Tinghe had control over the weapons inside and outside the Imperial Palace, it was only temporary.
With Jiang Bin's downfall, the next person Zhu Houzhen had to deal with was Yang Tinghe. Since Jiang Bin had already been killed by Zhu Houjiu, Yang Ting and Zhu Houjiu would naturally not let him go.
However, Yang Tinghe wasn't Jiang Bin. Zhu Houyi understood that he could use a surprise attack to deal with Jiang Bin, but it would be useless against Yang Tinghe.
If Zhu Houjian wanted to fight Yang Tinghe, he had to fight steadily and steadily step by step. It would be a real confrontation between politicians, a bloody fight between smart people.
At this moment, Zhu Houyou was no longer the Zhu Houyou who had just entered the palace. After eliminating Jiang Bin, Zhu Houyou had consolidated his power in the court. Although Zhu Houyou's power was still small, he could already compete with Yang Tinghe.
In addition, what Yang Tinghe feared the most was that Zhu Houzhi had seized the opportunity to control the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. With Lu Bing as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, it would be useless even if Yang Ting He placed a trusted aide in the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The Embroidered Uniform Guards would definitely be controlled by Lu Bing and become the sharpest knife by Zhu Hou's side.
……
"Congratulations, Father!”
At this moment, in Yang Tinghe's home, Yang Shen congratulated his father. This was because Yang Tinghe had already subdued all the armed forces inside and outside the palace. Yang Tinghe's power was overwhelming, and he had already become the number one person in the court.
"Hehe, there's nothing to be happy about. This is just within expectations!”
Yang Tinghe smiled for a while, then shook his head and sighed.
"Father, what's wrong?"
"Hey!"
Yang Tinghe recalled Zhu Houxin sitting on the throne during the day and his attitude of being generous in his rewards and punishments. His heart was instantly filled with worry.
"Son, now I regret letting this little emperor grow up!”
"Father, you mean…"
"Although this little emperor is young, he has already seen through the great potential of the little emperor in the matter of destroying Jiang Bin. It seems that our Yang family will have to be more careful in the future!”
"Father, are you saying that the little Emperor will threaten our Yang Family?”
"Hehe, I'm not sure about that either. Let's wait and see!”
When Yang Tinghe thought of this, his eyes flashed.
"It's just that father doesn't want our Yang family to end up like Jiang Bin, falling into the hands of this young emperor!”
